about us

Nice To Meet You.

Hello! We’re Isabelle and Antoine In 2017 we sold our house (and everything in it), quit our engineering careers and moved into our self built campervan. We’ve been on the road since then and every day is an opportunity for a new adventure; we’re chasing our dreams and hopefully it inspires others to do the same!

Awesome work you both have done here. My wife and are wondering what company you used to insure your van. We are wondering if our ford transit we are buying will need commercial insurance or rv insurance?

Hi Jamie,
Insurance is super-specific to one’s location, so we can’t possibly cover it all… But we made a post on how we insured/registered our van in British Columbia, maybe that helps: https://faroutride.com/van-insurance-bc/

Your site and advice looks so practical and good, I just began following you.

We just purchased a converted springer cargo van – simple conversion, to our taste. We are going on the road for three months, starting at the Mexico border and crisscrossing the west – then up the AlCon highway – to Alaska – partly back down – across Canada – down the East Coast – and back across the US to LA. We have one converter battery installed for our Solar Panels, and wonder if we should buy a second. I will look to your advice on various considerations. Thank you for our blog. Becky
